World champion Evie Richards is in the chasing pack at the start, but not far behind the leaders. But the Brit doesn't seem to be able to close the gap to Loana Lecomte (FRA) and Jenny Rissveds (SWE) - not yet, but Sina Frei manages to catch up. Richards catches up in the second round and Anne Tauber and Rebecca McConnell are now also in the lead.

On lap four, it is Richards who breaks away and sets off on her own from then on. She visibly extended her lead and ultimately rode to her first World Cup victory, 19 seconds ahead of Australian Rebecca McConnell. Sina Frei is still in third place until she stops in the tech zone shortly before the end: flat tire. She is overtaken by Rissveds, who secures third place, and Lecomte also rides past her.

Frei gets back into the race and is cheered on frenetically on her final kilometers. And the Olympic silver medallist needs it, because Anne Terpstra (NED) is catching up. However, Frei is able to take fifth place and thus the last place on the podium ahead of the Dutchwoman. However, this is little consolation, as she was so close to her first top 3 result at a World Cup, and then in front of a home crowd.

Alessandra Keller and Linda Indergand also put in a strong race. The two Swiss skiers remained in eighth and ninth place throughout the race. And while Indergand was able to hold her place until the finish, Keller made up another place and finished seventh. But that's not all: Nicole Koller equals her best World Cup result and finishes eleventh, Ramona Forchini improves from lap to lap and takes 15th place.
